You can't miss Cafe Del Sol as it is strategically well placed on a major roundabout. It seems to have achieved some sort of cult status for Sunday brunch, but my experience was an early evening one. I was shocked by how popular this place is. Deservedly, I think. I was particularly impressed by the fact that artificial flavours, etc for all dishes are list towards the back of the menu. I have not come across anywhere before where MSG was identified! Another pleasant surprise are the ultra-modern and hygienic Dyson hand dryers in the toilets. Staff were a bit overworked but extremely friendly. This is a family-friendly place without completely giving over to kids. Somehow they succeed in offering something for all ages, tastes, etc without succumbing to the lowest common denominator. And once you're inside you also forget all the traffic nearby.

I ordered olives to start but I did find the service a little off as I placed the stones next to my plate and was rather brusquely offred a serviette.

The signs for the cake were a little off, but the coconut cake was perfect and not at all overly sweet like most German cakes tend to be! Also, the waitress accommodated my order and easily switched to English once she heard me struggle! Thank you again for a delicious time!

American food in Germany? We'll see about that!…read more I didn't know where we were going. We just happened to be in the mall and my friend said there was a place we could eat upstairs. So we walk up to the restaurant Playoff on the upper level of the mall. Here I tried my first beer mit cola. Yes Americans... beer and coca cola... at the same time! It was delicious. I loved it. As for the food, it was ok. Definately not the kind of burgers you would find anywhere in America -- they were tiny. Good for them. Anyway, if you're going for a meal in the mall this is really one of your only options (there was one other restaurant down the other way) otherwise I'd probably walk outside and go to one of the other cafes in the area
